Solution

The correct option is B

False


When sodium is used for galvanizing, it will react vigorously with atmospheric oxygen to form sodium oxide. This sodium oxide will easily get washed away by water as sodium hydroxide, exposing the body of the metal quickly. Thus, sodium can’t be used for galvanizing.
